Active cruise control cannot detect stop signs, red lights, or any object that is stopped or is blocking the road. Active cruise control is not and must not be used as a collision avoidance/warning system. Since this active cruise control system is a new technology and operates differently from conventional cruise control systems which you may be accustomed to, it is necessary that you read all of the pages relating to this system before use.
Driving vehicle's speed and distance setting within applicable legal limits. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary, especially when the system is actively following a vehicle in front of you. Otherwise, driving conditions can result which lead to a violation of the law or elevated risk of an accident. Storing current speed Tap the lever, arrow 1, or briefly pull it, arrow 2. The minimum initial activation speed is 20 mph/ 30 km/h, and the maximum speed is 110 mph/ 180 km/h.
Press the lever upward or downward, and with the vehicle stopped also depress the brake pedal.

Driving While stopped Displays in instrument cluster Before leaving the vehicle with the engine running, engage position P of the automatic transmission and apply the handbrake. Otherwise the vehicle can roll.
Long-range sensor 2 Location of the short-range sensors behind the bumper Driving tips 1 If the sensor is not aligned properly, e.g. due to damage, the active cruise control cannot be activated. At a glance Heavy rain and also dirt, snow or ice can limit the detection of vehicles ahead. If needed, clean the radar sensor under the front bumper as well as the bumper area covering the short range sensors. When doing so, be particularly careful in removing layers of snow and ice.
Driving The system cannot allow the vehicle to drive off automatically in situations that make driving off considerably more difficult, e.g. on steep uphill grades, with a heavy trailer or before raised areas in the road. Unexpected lane change Near radio astronomy stations, the system radar is deactivated at speeds under 20 mph/ 30 km/h due to legal regulations. Be certain to interrupt the system when you pull into an exit lane for a highway offramp.
While active cruise control is capable of braking your vehicle automatically when you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that the ability of the system to apply the brakes is also limited, e.g. when you reduce your desired speed sharply. It uses only a portion of braking system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehicle braking system. Therefore, the system cannot decrease your speed due to large differences in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety PDC with visual warning* System limits You can also enjoy the option of having the system show the approach to an object on the Control Display. Objects that are farther away are already shown there before a signal tone sounds. The setting is stored for the remote control currently in use. Even with PDC, final responsibility for estimating the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles always remains with the driver.
Deactivating DSC This system controls the brake system's application pressure at the rear wheels to ensure stable deceleration. At a glance Electronic brake-force distribution DSC Dynamic Stability Control DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels when starting off and accelerating. The system also identifies unstable driving conditions, such as a loss of traction at the rear of the vehicle or sliding of the vehicle in its front wheels.
Technology for comfort, convenience and safety You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC under the following special circumstances: > When driving on snowy inclines, in slush, or on unplowed, snow-covered road surfaces > When rocking a stuck vehicle free or when starting off in deep snow or on loose ground brake applications. The Tire Pressure Monitor or the Flat Tire Monitor is also malfunctioning. Have the system checked as soon as possible.
In the following situations, the system could be delayed or malfunction: The concept > System has not been initialized Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and optimizes vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. > Driving on snow-covered or slippery roads Dynamic Drive is based on active stabilizers on the front and rear axles.

Reset the system again after each correction of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change.< The system does not function properly if it has not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite correct tire inflation pressures. Resetting finishes during driving, which can be interrupted at any time. When driving resumes, resetting is continued automatically.
Technology for comfort, convenience and safety ing driving. The tires are shown in green on the Control Display. If a flat tire is detected during resetting and applying the tire inflation pressures, all tires are shown in yellow on the Control Display. The message "Tire low!" is displayed.< Message with low tire inflation pressure The warning lamp lights up yellow. A message appears on the Control Display. In addition, an acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat tire or extensive inflation pressure loss.
> On the left: normal braking. Active steering* > On the right: heavy braking. The concept The active steering is a system that actively varies the steering angle of the front wheels in relation to the steering wheel movements. When you are driving in the low road speed range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steering angle increases, i.e. the steering becomes very direct. In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced more and more.

Driving tips This section is designed to provide you with extra support by supplying information useful in dealing with specific driving and operating conditions. Online Edition for Part no.
Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Breaking-in Moving parts need time to adjust to one another. To ensure that your vehicle continues to provide optimized economy of operation throughout an extended service life, we request that you devote careful attention to the following section. Engine and differential Always obey all official speed limits.
Have the vehicle serviced regularly in order to achieve the optimum economy and service life of your vehicle. BMW recommends having the maintenance performed by a BMW center. Also please pay attention to the BMW maintenance system, refer to page 221.
Things to remember when driving the road surface, ultimately undermining your ability to steer and brake the vehicle.< The risk of hydroplaning increases as the tread depth of the tires decreases, also refer to Minimum tire tread on page 213. Driving through water Do not drive through water on the road if it is deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged.
Cargo loading To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never overload the vehicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. The ultimate result can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.< Make sure that no fluids leak in the cargo bay; otherwise the vehicle could be damaged.< 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Things to remember when driving Stowing cargo weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 237, as excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also put you in violation of freeway safety laws. You should never transport unsecured heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment, as they could fly around and pose a safety hazard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt braking or evasive maneuvers.
